ABSTRACT Laryngomucocele is a rare benign laryngeal disease characterized by cystic dilatation of laryngeal saccule with collection of mucous in it. The etiology behind its occurrence is still unclear, but congenital and acquired factors have been implicated in its development. Although it is a benign lesion, its presence in an old patient since many days should prompt the examiner to diligently search for laryngeal malignancy. We are presenting the case of a 61 years old male who presented with swelling in the neck, hoarseness of voice, dysphagia and dyspnea on exertion. The patient was thoroughly evaluated clinically, endoscopically and radiologically. He was diagnosed to be suffering from laryngomucocele and was managed by an external lateral cervical approach.

A laryngocele is an abnormal dilatation of the laryngeal saccule. It is a rare benign lesion of the larynx. Various modalities of treatment have been advocated for its management. We present our treatment results and outcomes of a series of cases of laryngoceles and discuss the concepts of their management. This study included patients with different laryngocele types. Patients with an internal laryngocele underwent endoscopic CO2 laser resection, while those with a combined laryngocele underwent resection via a V-shaped lateral thyrotomy approach. Seven patients had an internal laryngocele, and 4 patients had a combined laryngocele. Hoarseness and neck swelling were the most common symptoms. The mean follow-up period was 8.5 months. None of the patients needed a tracheostomy either preoperatively or postoperatively, or had recurrence of laryngocele. We advocate the lateral thyrotomy approach for combined laryngoceles as it provides safe, precise, and complete resection under direct visualization via a single approach, while we favor the endoscopic laser approach for the internal ones as it allows resection of the entire lesion with minimal laryngeal trauma, less operative time, and a shorter hospital stay.

Introdução: O queratocisto odontogênico é por definição um cisto de desenvolvimento que apresenta caráter agressivo afetando o complexo bucomaxilofacial. Tendo em vista que muitas vezes são assintomáticos, o seu diagnóstico normalmente é obtido através de exames radiográficos de rotina. Objetivo: apresentar um caso clínico referente ao diagnóstico e tratamento de um queratocisto odontogênico em região posterior de mandíbula. Caso clínico: Paciente do sexo feminino, normosistemica, feoderma. Observou-se aumento de volume extraoral, lado direito da face em região de ângulo mandibular. Ao exame radiografico periapical, observou-se uma imagem radiolúcida, bem delimitada, unilocular, associada ao dente 47.  Ao exame físico intraoral, observou-se abaulamento ósseo na região do referido dente. Foi então solicitada uma tomografia computadorizada, na qual foi detectada extensa lesão óssea expansiva em ramo mandibular direito. Realizou-se uma punção aspirativa local, detectando presença de conteúdo líquido. Primeiramente foi realizada uma biópsia incisional com instalação de dispositivo descompressivo. O laudo histopatológico foi de cisto odontogênico inflamatório. O dispositivo de descompressão permaneceu por 9 meses, apresentando uma diminuição significativa da lesão. Foi realizada então, a enucleação da lesão remanescente, associado a exodontia dos dentes 47 e 48 e enviado material para histopatológico, que dessa vez, confirmou diagnóstico de queratocisto odontogênico. Ao exame de imagem pós-operatório de 6 meses, observou-se formação óssea completa sem sinais de recidiva. Conclusão: O tratamento proposto se mostrou eficaz no tratamento do queratocisto odontogênico, o acompanhamento com exames de imagem é de extrema importância, tendo em vista a possibilidade de recidiva.

We introduce here our surgical approach for the removal of a huge parapharyngeal tumor in 3 cases. Surgery was done under general anesthesia using transnasal intubation. Transoral manipulation was performed first. Using a tongue retractor and an angle widener, a wide surgical field was provided. Incision was made on the palate around the tumor. Tumor was separated from the surrounding tissue, preserving the tumor capsule. Then, a 5-cm small skin incision was made. Both parotid and submandibular glands were pushed upward, and the parapharyngeal space was opened. The tumor was also separated from the surrounding tissue. These manipulations were done under endoscopic observation. Finally, the tumor was pushed laterally and safely removed intraorally. After removal of the tumor, the wounds were closed, and vacuum drainage was settled for a few days. No apparent problems, such as malocclusion and facial palsy, occurred, and the patients were free from disease for more than 10 years. For the removal of a large parapharyngeal tumor, the mandibular swing approach is usually used; however, this approach is invasive, and certain sequelae, such as facial wound and malocclusion, may occur. Our technique enables the safe and less invasive removal of such a huge parapharyngeal benign lesion.

Introduction Salivary gland tumors are rarely seen. It constitutes approximately 3% of all head-neck tumors. 75-80% of these tumors originate from the parotid gland. In this study, 98 patients who underwent parotidectomy in a tertiary otorhinolaryngology clinic were analyzed retrospectively, the frequency of different pathologies and our treatment modalities for parotid masses are presented in the light of current literature. Materials and Methods In this study, 98 patients who underwent parotidectomy in our clinic between 2011 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, the frequency of different pathologies, our treatment approach, and complications of treatment for parotid masses are presented in the light of current literature. Results The mean age was 48 years (between the range of 7-82 years). 41  cases were female and 57  cases were male. In the results of FNAB, there were 65 (66%) benign cases, 28 (29%) malignancy suspects and 5 (5%) malignant cases, 68 (69%) benign cases, and 30 (31%) malignant cases in surgical pathologies. The most frequent lesion of all parotid masses was pleomorphic adenoma (24%). The most common benign lesion was pleomorphic adenoma (35%) and the most frequent malignant tumor was mucoepidermoid carcinoma (27%). The most common surgery type was superficial parotidectomy (82 cases). The most common complication was marginal mandibular nerve paresis (6). Conclusion The treatment modality of the parotid tumors varies from case to case according to the nature of the tumor and extension.

Para-pharyngeal space tumors showed a varied presentation and through a great challenge to the surgeon in respect to pre-operative evaluation as well as surgical approach. Para-pharyngeal space (PPS) is an inverted cone-shaped potential space that extends from the hyoid bone to the base of the skull.It is filled with fat and areolar tissue lie laterally on either sides of pharynx; and is bounded and subdivided by various condensations of fascia1 . Tumors, although rare less than1% of head neck neoplasm can arise from any structures of this space. Mostly they are benign70-80% and 20-30% are malignant. Salivary gland tumor, particularly deep lobe parotid constitutesmore than 80%2,3. Imaging studies are invaluable to define the site of origin, extension, relationship to the great vessels of the neck and other neurovascular structures4 . Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Several approaches have been discussed in the text books. We present a case of a huge parapharyngeal space tumor that was excised completely through trans-cervical approach without any morbidly

Congenital saccular cysts of the larynx are unusual lesions that commonly present with respiratory obstruction in infants and children. The saccular cyst may result from an atresia of the laryngeal saccule orifice or may represent the retention of mucus in the collecting ducts of submucosal glands located around the ventricle. Traditionally, the treatment of the lesions has been endoscopic unroofing or marsupialization. Frequently, this modality requires multiple procedures as well as concomitant tracheotomy. There also have been reports of acquired subglottic stenosis. We have found that removal of the recurrent saccular cyst can be achieved relatively safely and effectively via a lateral cervical approach to the thyrohyoid membrane. We review our experience with four patients with congenital saccular cysts and detail the evaluation and surgical management of these lesions.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of unilateral diaphragmatic reinnervation in humans by the inferior laryngeal nerve. This pilot study included chronically ventilated tetraplegic patients with destruction of phrenic nerve motoneurons.Five patients were included. They all had a high level of tetraplegia, with phrenic nerve motor neuron destruction. They were highly dependent on ventilation, without any possibility of weaning. They did not have other chronic pathologies, especially laryngeal disease. They all had diaphragmatic explorations to diagnose the destruction of the motoneurons of the phrenic nerves and nasoendoscopy to be sure that they did not have laryngeal or pharyngeal disease. Then, surgical anastomosis of the right phrenic nerve was performed with the inferior laryngeal nerve, by a cervical approach. A laryngeal reinnervation was performed at the same time, using the ansa hypoglossi.One patient was excluded because of a functional phrenic nerve and one patient died 6 months after the surgery of a cardiac arrest. The remaining three patients were evaluated after the anastomosis every 6 months. They did not present any swallowing or vocal alterations. In these three patients, the diaphragmatic explorations showed that there was a recovery of the diaphragmatic electromyogram of the right and left hemidiaphragms after 1 year. Two patients had surgical diaphragmatic explorations for diaphragmatic pacing 18–24 months after the reinnervation with excellent results. At 36 months, none of the patients could restore their automatic ventilation.In conclusion, this study demonstrated that diaphragmatic reinnervation by the inferior laryngeal nerve is effective, without any vocal or swallowing complications.

The epithelium plays a critical role in the maintenance of laryngeal health. This is evident in that laryngeal disease may result when the integrity of the epithelium is compromised by insults such as laryngopharyngeal reflux. In this article, we will review the structure and function of the laryngeal epithelium and summarize the impact of laryngopharyngeal reflux on the epithelium. Research investigating the ramifications of reflux on the epithelium has improved our understanding of laryngeal disease associated with laryngopharyngeal reflux. It further highlights the need for continued research on the laryngeal epithelium in health and disease.
